Riyadh – Mubasher: Saudi-based International Systems Engineering (ISE) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nutanix, a US-based cloud computing software company, to jointly remove the obstacles of the traditional approaches of the IT market and ensure the integrity of information.

The MoU demonstrates the parties’ efforts in accelerating the realization of the Saudi Vision 2030’s National Transformation Program’s (NTP) goals, according to a press release issued on Monday.     

Under the deal, ISE will offer Nutanix its preferred technology vendor status and will mainly position Nutanix solutions for its potential and existing external and internal opportunities when applicable.
